These 50 shorts reveal the author’s wide-ranging skills of the writer’s art. I often give a rather “charitable” 5 stars to some efforts because I have the balls to risk writing, but this really is exceptional writing in the short format.
Hugely enjoyable to dip back in again and again.
It’s a beautiful, timeless, read. Over ten years old and yet could have been written yesterday. I love the way Aaron deals with his father…… No more hints,
Like @Mikiesboy I’m not the greatest fan of teen dramas but this is so nicely-written, so well paced, that it comes across as authentic. A very enjoyable story. Well worth dipping into. You won’t put it down!
Another challenge as I wake up - off to work on time or delayed gratification. This time instant gratification won the day! Such a delight, but challenge for Will being surrounded by these guys…… phew 😅
I’ve found this a fascinating discussion. And I am v pleased that I stepped back into the story and have been reading, and am now really enjoying, it on its own terms. I very much enjoy your comments @MichaelS36, thank you.
What a really nice message and if I won the lottery we could set Mark up so that he could dedicate himself full time to satisfying our needs…. Or perhaps waiting is good for the soul?
